Break up poem #42,729

[Seymore]

Liquid courage has me posting this, I never would otherwise:

 

It was late in the evening

you couldn't understand

Why I said I had to just let you go

 

All the pain that you caused me

had allowed me to see

that it just wasn't meant to be

 

I'd hate me too if I was you

I wouldn't get how, when or why

And I just wouldn't see

Why you couldn't let us be

And why our love had to wither and die

 

And I take every tear that I shed inside

and bottle it up for a rainy day

And I take but one sip

and I realize

That it just had to end in this way

 

This day I understand

I can't take you by the hand

And just make you see

what you'd meant to me

 

You'd cut me so deep

and I came back again

to get cut 'til my heart just bled out

And this empty shell

that I'd become

old hope became wonder and doubt

 

Some day you might get it

and hopefully thank God

that I left you 'cause things will get better

And you'll find that I loved you

enough to let go

'cause it's rain that makes the grass grow

 

Now it's late in the evening

And I hope you let go

from that feeling that just isn't there

And I know that you'll hate me

for now, but then maybe

all that hate will turn into care

 

One day you will learn

that the world will still turn

even if you will not be around

and for the time that you're here

lock away all your fear

keep your head and your feet on the ground

 

I wish you the best

after all of this mess

and I hope you find true love someday

and when you hold his hand

you just might understand

why I meant it to end in this way.
